The Todd County School District 66-1 board met and unanimously approved its consent agenda and several routine items, and agreed to make a monetary donation to support students attending an international youth conference.

The board voted 5-0 to approve the consent agenda after Speaker 2 moved and Chris Allen Baker seconded the motion. The board then approved a package of policies (item 7.2) on a motion by Speaker 4, seconded by Speaker 3.

On personnel matters, the board approved long-term substitute waivers (item 7.3) for several teachers, including one international hire whose arrival is delayed and another who will begin student teaching in the spring. Amanda moved the waiver motion and Mark seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The superintendent explained that waivers are sent to the state secretary of accreditation for processing.

The board also addressed election timing for 2026. The superintendent explained a new law requires jurisdictions to choose either a two-year primary (June) schedule or to hold elections as part of the November general election, and to finalize that choice by Dec. 15. The board voted to remain on the June primary schedule on a motion by Speaker 4.

During item 7.5, four student visitors asked the board for monetary support to attend the Design for Change Youth Conference in Japan. The students described community projects that qualified them for the trip and asked for help covering meals and travel-related costs. Speaker 2 suggested covering the students’ meals and mentioned a figure of "500" in the discussion; the board moved to make a monetary donation and approved the motion unanimously. The final dollar amount was not clearly recorded in the transcript.

The meeting concluded with an adjournment at approximately 5:47 p.m..
